<H3>Shortcuts:</H3>
   <BLOCKQUOTE>
      Menu item <I>Options->Technology manager</I> implements the command
      <B>techmanager</B>.

<H3>Summary:</H3>
   <BLOCKQUOTE>
      The <B>techmanager</B> command generates the "technology manager"
      GUI window (see Figure 1 below).  This window shows the current
      technology along with its version and description strings
      shows the internal grid scaling, the current and available CIF/GDS
      input and output styles, and the current and available extraction
      styles.  It also shows the known technology files by searching
      the <I>system</I> search path (see the command <B>path</B> for
      more information).  It allows a new technology to be loaded, or
      the CIF/GDS and extraction styles to be changed, as well as
      allowing internal grid rescaling by specifying the internal units
      per lambda.<P>
